Constitutional Convention
344d left
Constitutional Convention Temporary

Called by the head of government or the monarch, or held automatically in a new country's first year. For one year the usual constitutional-change cooldown is suspended, so a new package can be opened as soon as the previous one closes, and the cost of opening a constitutional change package is capped at 75 PP however many changes it contains. Only one package can be open for voting at a time and voting thresholds are unchanged. Once the convention ends, another cannot be called for 10 years. It does not skew elector positions or change salience — its effects are purely on the constitutional change mechanics.

  • 💰 Free Market — pulls toward wealth redistribution
  • 📚 Education Investment — pulls toward education priority
  • 👴 Support for Older People — pulls toward support older people
Nation Builders
Nation Builders

A country gripped by a developmental-state ethos. Voters want cranes on the skyline and new schools in every town: big infrastructure projects, serious education spending, and opportunities for the young generation that will inherit it all. Growth comes first — environmental concerns take a back seat to getting things built. Says nothing about who should own the economy — a Nation Builders country can be market-led or state-directed.

  • 🌱 Environmental Protection — pulls toward growth first
Strength through Strength
Strength through Strength

A country that prizes military capability and sovereign control above internationalism. Voters lean toward strong defence spending, strict immigration enforcement, and national cohesion. Cultural confidence tips into wariness of outside influence. Doesn't say anything about the economic settlement — a Strength through Strength nation can be a welfare state or a free-market one.

Affected issues
  • ⚔️ Military Strength — pulls toward military strength
  • 🌍 Immigration — pulls toward border security
  • 🎭 Multiculturalism — pulls toward national identity
  • 👮‍♂️ Law and Order — pulls toward law and order primacy
Traditional Culture
Traditional Culture

A country whose social fabric leans on inherited norms. Voters skew socially conservative on identity and family issues, and are more sympathetic to religious framing in public life. Doesn't say anything about economics — a Traditional Culture nation can be capitalist or socialist.

Affected issues
  • 🙋‍♀️ Gender Equality — pulls toward traditional gender roles
  • ⛪ Role of Religion in Society — pulls toward religion in government
  • 🎭 Multiculturalism — pulls toward national identity
  • 🌍 Immigration — pulls toward border security
